As much as many of us totally love Christmas Day, it’s no secret that the cooking can be stressful.

There’s so much to do in so little time, and it’s never easy to manage. But one man has said using Jamie Oliver’s gravy recipe could make all the difference.

Mike Honour previously gave it a whirl, and he admitted it’s pretty game changing. In a TikTok video, he confessed the Christmas gravy is “banging”, and you can even get ahead by using the recipe.

The tasty sauce can be made days in advance, so all you need to do is warm it up when the big day arrives. You can’t beat getting one step ahead after all.

Since Mike shared the video, other social media users agreed that it’s a great recipe. The video makes it look all the more tempting too.

If you decide to use chicken drumsticks and legs to make the gravy, it’s vital not to discard the leftover mixture in your sieve. This is because you can avoid major waste.

After you’ve sieved the ingredients, and allowed them to cool down, you can carefully pick through the chicken and throw away the bones. Once you’ve reclaimed the chunks of meat, you can use it to make another tasty meal.

You just need to make sure you’re careful, so take plenty of time to rid all the bones. But, when it comes to Christmas Day and your turkey is cooked, you simply need to pour the defrosted gravy into the tray with the leftover turkey juices.

Then, bring it to the boil over a hob, while ensuring you scrape up all the sticky bits from the bottom. Give it a taste, and add a little cranberry sauce to balance the flavours.

Once hot, you can carefully strain it through a sieve into a pan, and simply leave it simmering on a low heat until you’re ready to dish up. Before you serve, make sure you rid any fat that accumulates on the top.
